- DAJUDECO and Uruguayan authorities, including the central bank and tax agency, reported no commercial links between Rodríguez and Sabrimol Trading or Latin Financial LP.
- Prosecutors had alleged simulated loans of $1.415 million helped circulate about $1.715 million tied to the 2012 purchase of an Eurocopter EC130 B4 by Helicopter Corporation SA and a 2016 sale involving Fusion Blue Servicios Aéreos SA.
- Casación also noted the absence of a predicate offense and found the action prescribed given the more than ten years between the 2012 loans and the 2022 summons.
